  • Philippe the Original has been a landmark of Downtown Los Angeles for 100 years. Established in 1908, Philipe's is a 4th generation family-owned restaurant. It's also where the original french dip sandwich was "accidentally invented" and became a national sensation.

    I first went to Phillipe's in the fifties with my dad who was a policeman on the LAPD. It was much smaller then and didn't have the extra dining area. I still drop in for a "wet" beef sandwich when I'm in LA. Such wonderful memories of my dad.

Other LA epic sandwiches are Langer's Deli's Pastrami #19 and Giamela's Italian Beef Pepper Steak. 3:00 Phillipe's survived the 1918 Spanish Flu and will survive the 2020 C-19 pandemic.
